Devendra Sutar from the Indian state of Gujarat only became famous in 2014, although he has had his exceptional feature since birth.

An Indian man was born with polydactyly, the scientific name for having more fingers and toes than normal.

Devendra Sutar from India is known as the man with the most fingers.

He has not 20 fingers on his hands and feet, but 28.

But Devendra is not discouraged, does not complain, and not only because in 2014 his name appeared on the pages of the Guinness Book of Records.

He has grown four extra fingers on his hands (two on each). A similar situation is observed on his feet.

This feature does not prevent the seven-fingered record holder from living and working normally.

However, when it is necessary to cut something, he has to be extremely careful.

We also have to make custom shoes because regular models don’t fit feet with seven toes.

The reason for this peculiarity is not reported, but it is safe to say that Sutar’s record will not be broken anytime soon.
